Can I add winRT project reference to classic class library project?

VS gives me errors when I try to do it. Yet, it displays such projects as available to reference. Is it possible to add winRT project reference to the classic class library project somehow?

If not, how to bridge both worlds, so common logic can be stored in one place?

VS2012 adds a "Portable Class Library" project type that allows you to select multiple targets, including the ability to target WinRT and full .Net 4.5 from one assembly.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg597391.aspx.

The short answer is yes. The long answer is that it's not supported and comes with some caveats that you need to understand.
